Sid slipped out, and Ida was led away by Cora. Then such talking as
there was between Ed and Jack!
"Well, did you ever hear such a yarn?" asked Jack. "Did you suspect
him, Ed?"
"Yes, but I thought his motive was a different one. I had an idea
the strain would soon tell on him--or Ida. I'm glad it's over."
"So am I!" exclaimed Cora, coming into the room, having parted from
Ida. "Oh, I feel years younger!"
"Look out!" warned Ed. "You'll soon be a mere infant again if you
keep on."
"I don't care!" she cried. "Come on out and take a long run in the
Whirlwind. I want to get some of the cobwebs swept off my brain with
a glorious breeze. Come, Jack--Ed."
They went with her, each one happier than they had been in many
days.
"Oh! There are Belle and Bess!" cried Cora. "I must tell them."
"Well," remarked Ed, when Cora and Belle had about talked themselves
out, "I suppose you motor girls call that quite a series of
adventures?"
"Indeed we do," answered Cora. "I don't know that I care to have
any more just like them."
But, though no adventures just like those narrated here occurred to
the motor girls, the possession of their new cars led them into a
strange complication not long afterward, and the details of it will
be set down in the next book of this series, to be entitled: "The
Motor Girls on a Tour; or, Keeping a Strange Promise.
